MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / November 2004Leading spaces in Mail Merge field not printing
I am using an Excel spreadsheet as my data source. My problem - if the Excel cell has leading spaces in it (spaces on the left), they do not carry over to the merge field in the Word document. Is there something to set or change to stop this? I want the spaces to carry over to the merge field so they show up in the final document. Thanks,  SignatureKurt Monroe Hi =?Utf-8?B?S3VydCBNb25yb2U=?=, > I am using an Excel spreadsheet as my data source. > > My problem - if the Excel cell has leading spaces in it (spaces on the > left), they do not carry over to the merge field in the Word document. This is standard, and by design. The only data source where leading and trailing spaces are NOT stripped out is if the data is in a Word table. You could copy/paste the Excel data into Word, as long as there aren't more than 63 columns.
